Camera Tips: [Updated]

3. For acceptable shots, set the resolution to 800 x 600.

NOTE: Using the camera will put up a big drain on your battery.

Battery Tips: [Updated]

• Don’t always use the camera. Only when needed.

• Set Packet Data Connection to When Needed. Setting can be found on Settings>Connectivity>Packet Data

• Always turn on the Power Saver Feature.

• Turn off your Bluetooth when not in use.

• Turn off screensavers

• Go to Settings > Phone > Operator Selection > Manual and select your operator. This way the phone doesn’t search for a signal all the time and drain the battery out.(Only advisable for network with good signal.)

• Always make sure that the phone has an adequate signal. (If the phone is searching for signals, it drains a big part of the battery)

• I know its fun to play games, but it can decrease your battery so fast.

• Don’t discharge the battery frequently, otherwise the battery will decrease it’s performance.

• Battery maintenance, it is recommended to discharge the battery every 30 charge cycles or once a month.

How to Create Playlist on Nokia 5300, 5310, and 5610

It’s possible to create a playlist straight on your Nokia 5300, 5310 and 5610. I’ll share this little hack for everyone and here’s the trick.

Basically,
- You start by emptying the “Favorites” tracklist.
- Then go to the music library, and start adding songs in the order you want them (go to the song, and choose ‘add to favorites’ under Options).
- When all songs are added, go back to Favorites tracklist,
- and start to play it.
- Then finally, in the ‘now playing’ screen, choose Options, show tracks, again ‘Options/save as tracklist’, and give it a name.

Really a long process but a useful hack
